  1. TAXONOMY CSV IMPORT/EXPORT
  2. ==========================
  3. -- SUMMARY --
  4. ---------
  5. This module allows to import or export taxonomy from or to a CSV
  6. (comma-separated values) local or distant file or a copy-and-paste text.
  7. When you want to quick import a non-standardized vocabulary, for example an
  8. old thesaurus or a simple list of children, synonyms, related terms,
  9. descriptions or weights of a set of terms, Taxonomy CSV is simpler to use. It
  10. can manage internationalized vocabularies with i18n_taxonomy, a submodule of
  11. i18n module (see http://drupal.org/project/i18n).
  12. Some other modules allow to import and export taxonomies:
  13. * Taxonomy XML (http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_xml) is perfect for
  14. standardized taxonomies and vocabularies importation. Despite its name, it can
  15. import csv files too, but only if they are ISO 2788 formatted.
  16. * Migration modules, see http://groups.drupal.org/node/21338 and
  17. http://groups.drupal.org/soc-2006-import-export-api.
  18. Taxonomy CSV is a more specialised tool which allows more precise tuning.
  19. It's designed to be used when the website is building. After that, it's
  20. recommended to disable it.

  26. -- WARNING --
  27. ---------
  28. Use at your risk. Even if many informations are displayed, taxonomy_csv module
  29. does not tell you what it's gonna do before it's doing it, so make sure you have
  30. a backup so you can roll back if necessary.
  31. It's recommended to use the "autocreate" or the "duplicate vocabulary" choices
  32. to check your csv file before import in a true vocabulary.
